Look it up. You could find it on any online article dating back to 2016 - joking that, "Hey, I support Clinton, but my check hasn't come yet!" That was a popular theory. That she was literally paying EVERYONE who supported her. That we're all "paid shills."

Disney would hardly be the only company to do so. IGN and and some game review magazines had this problem going way back.

What you wrote did not make me trust your judgement more. Also, the qoute function exists.

You cannot find an article unironocally claiming that she paid everyone in any notable publication from anyone.

I found one example quickly.

"Paid shill." There you go. And it was common for his hardcore fringe voters back then to accuse anything that challenged their isolated groupthink views on how... her campaign wasn't paying people to vote for them.

There were also Clinton supporters that went out to pose as Bernie supporters by coming off as misogynistic and sexist in order to promote the idea that Bernie supporters were just the left-wing variety of Trump supporters. Hence: Bernie Bros. Clinton's supporters did the same thing in 2008 by calling Obama's supporters "Obama Boys" in order to suggest that this was a gender war.

Whether Clinton sanctioned this is another debate.

I voted for Bernie in the primaries and to this day believe he would have put up a better fight against Trump in the general election than Hillary. That said, I still voted for Hillary but it was not with my heart, it was purely to vote against the moron we currently have in office.

Oh no. You mean people throwing chairs, screaming "c***!" and tossing dollar bills at limos? That was all them, baby. And Sanders claimed he doesn't want that shit, but he knows how to play the game and that it's very good politics to destroy your opponent's character and terrorize your enemy's followers the way the USSR did - which Sanders to this day holds up as the standard to the kind of state we should aspire to be. He ain't no Socialist, he's a tankie. Soviet apologist. Sanders KNEW there were was lots of harassment going on his campaign, and he did nothing to stop it because it only further helped him. Conflict and chaos and division meant it could help him start that revolution he's been dreaming about but was too lazy to get going for the past 70 years. Seriously, if you think it was Clinton voters who were "pretending" to tarnish Saint Sanders' cult, then buddy, you weren't paying attention. I was on social media at the time and the harassment was so awful, we had to retreat into private group. A lot of it was Russian trolling, but much of it was not. They certainly inflamed them, though, so it's not hard to see them letting loose all their hatred when provoked that way. Ask Fuzzy Necromancer what those really hardcore-hardcore leftists he knows are like. Or third-party voters eagerly looking for any chance to disrupt the two major parties. Seriously, if you don't think Sanders thrived in a toxic culture of harassment that was very unfriendly to women, look at the allegations that have come out against him recently. It's who he is. And hey - Sanders was polling well against Trump because Clinton LITERALLY never ran ONE negative ad against him. None. Even though he had skeletons in his closet just as bad as people think hers were that would have destroyed his chances among those in the center, and we outnumber those to either extreme, left or right. His rape article. Dumping nuclear waste on a Latino community. His poor track record on guns. Voting to spend money on that jet in his state that cost taxpayers a trillion dollars. His many anti-American activities. Praising dictatorships that took away people's civil rights (he doesn't care about the majority, and that was proven when he said the superdelegates should override the will of Democratic voters and anoint him, a non-Democrat, to be our flag-bearer). I could go on and on.

Here.

And seriously, citing MEDIUM? That site is full-blown Bernie Bro. Full of hard left-wingers. I don't trust it. As to that, I don't even think Sanders sanctioned his supporters' abuse, but he sure profited off it, and being a political animal, he knew that and took advantage of it for money and fame and possibly more power. I think he got into the race thinking he couldn't win, then the spotlight got to his head and he started thinking he COULD win. And once that happened, he got nasty. So, there you go. He is most definitely the left-wing version of Trump when he shoves women to the side. He disregards everyone. Look into his past. He's a man who offers empty promises and can't get anything done. And alienates those he has to work with, confirmed by Barney Frank and played out worldwide when he stalked the Pope to fake his endorsement. I hope you don't vote for him this time. Putting Sanders in the general election, a non-Democrat who's a hypocrite to everything we stand for and he claims to stand for up against Trump, is suicide. The ONLY thing he has going for him is white man's privilege. That is IT.

You sure do have an unhealthy obsession with Sanders and a twisted view of his supporters. And again with that "white man's privilege" bullshit. :rolleyes: The irony there is that Sanders spouted some of that himself, rather famously by suggesting white people don't know what it's like to live in a ghetto. Aside from the disconnect that shows he apparently thinks there are no poor white people, it's historically disconnected considering that a man of Jewish decent would say something like that.
